Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 4.0.20 was released
   -

   YP 5.1 M2 is due to be released
   -

   A new wiki page summarizing options for meta-gplv2 replacement was
   created: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Meta-gpl2_layer_replacement
   (thanks Khem)
   -

   A document giving a brief overview of the Yocto Project
   Autobuilder/Infrastructure has been shared:
   https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/images/0/04/Yocto_Project_Autobuilder.pdf
   and will be discussed on today’s engineering sync call.
   -

   Autobuilder intermittent issues continue to cause concern but if we
   don’t have anyone able to work on them there is little we can do.
   -

   A bug in pseudo around the resolution of symlinks was identified and a
   fix merged, thanks to the reporter for sending a good test case!
   -

   We cleaned up a lot of python dependencies and added some extra tests,
   thanks Ross.
   -

   The rustdoc reproducibility issue was found and fixed, thanks Sundeep!
   We will now be able to upgrade rust to newer versions although further
   issues remain in some newer versions.
   -

   The new mesa version requires meta-clang for the intel drivers. We need
   to make a decision on how to handle this, clang is likely to make its way
   to core at some point but work is needed to make the overrides suitable for
   core before that can happen.


Ways to contribute:

   -

   As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which
   are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to
   keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa,
   autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help
   is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
   -

   There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to
   making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball
   and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind
   of upstream feature merged to make this easier:
   https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
   -

   There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:
   https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
   -

   There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See:
   
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
   -

   We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list
   at:
   
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc
   and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing
   list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help
   facilitate this.
   -

   Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder
   intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to
   see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla:
   https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
   -

   Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
   <https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/>
   -

   We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is
   appreciated.
   -

   Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test
   case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it
   might get fixed.
   -

   Further help on optimizing build disk usage would be most welcome.
